Spirit – Releasing the Light Within



                       there but only in thought. Because of our powers we
                       can not only travel and be totally there but given the
                       right  conditions  we  can  also  contact  people  there.
                       Here I am on the fourth plane having come from (a
                       lifetime in) Egypt and speaking to you through your
                       hand in Ireland, well now!
                   6.  This  again  is  a  testing  question  to  answer  simply.
                       Much  of  the  Bible  is  inspirational  writing but  you
                       would  have  to  know  by  whose  inspiration  it  was
                       written and tho whom. Also in many translations a
                       great portion of the impact of the word has been lost.
                       The only way I can guide you on this question is to
                       suggest that the Bible be rewritten again by us and
                       that it be written to suit your age and then you could
                       understand  it  fully.  As  to  distinguishing  the  true
                       spiritual teachings, let it be said that any teaching in
                       the  Bible  that  takes  you  to  God  with  no  greater
                       promise than seeing God can be taken as spiritual.
                   7.  Yes the significance of Baptism is now very obscure.
                       It was originally a neo-pagan act of purification in
                       that  before  ritual  sacrifice  the  victim  was  purified
                       with  water.  In  the  Christian  era  Baptism  was  also
                       used as a purification accompaniment to the soul or
                       Spirit.  So  it  has  held  even  to  today  but  again  its
                       significance  has  been  obscured.  What  is  most
                       important is that it is not the original sin that is being
                       removed,  it  is  the  purification  of  the  Spirit,  the
                       washing of the Spirit before it faces its earthbound
                       life. Yes it is necessary, as to enter the realm of the
                       earth  clean  is  clearing  the  way  for  a  good  start.
                       Original sin will be dealt with in the answer to a later
